This tactic starts with James Clear and his framework for when he didn't know what to write about. When that happens, he asks himself:

"What is the object of the reader's desire?"

Jay Clouse took this approach and tweaked it for his own content creation system. The result?

Jay basically created a database of all the problems his target audience faces.

Each time he sits down to write new content, he refers to this database and ensures the content addresses one of these issues.

If it doesn't, then he scraps it and starts over.

• Whenever you sit down to write your next piece of content, start with one of these problems
